Hi there, saw your posts on here about SM and MP. We have a support group with 57 members if you're interested. It's a private group to be able to share, support, receive support, doc info, meds, etc. I'm a mom with a pediatric kid with SM. If you write back I can give you the contact info if you'd like. No, it's not the yahoo group either. That site has information in files, but not a very good support based group and of sharing and talking. We have 57 members on ours!

I private messaged you 🙂
@shareie, Have you seen a GI doctor? I was on Prednisone for 2 months and then tapered off. I used the FODMAP diet and the swelling and pain subsided. MP is rare, but manageable. You have to find the right doctor and treatment program. Your primary physician can refer you to a GI doctor. Most everything is covered by insurance.
We have a gi doctor. Had scope/colonoscopy to see if they were missing anything. My husband is on bentyl, nortriptoline and something else. Just increased the meds because they aren't working. He was on a strick diet for almost a month and that didnt help either. His stomach swells up alot. Has good days and bad days.
I wish I could be of more help.

Hello, I'm mark from NC. I was diagnosed with S/m in 2010. Biopsy confirmed, mass the size of a fist that goes from the front to my back which explains the pains in the front, sides and back! Have been on all treatments that most every one has with no relief. I had to quit my job of 35 years because I couldn't function anymore. I'm currently on fentynal patches and hydrocodone. It helps soom. It inoperable and seems to be getting worse. It's very depressing as I have no job or life and the outlook is pretty dim. I'm giving up hope!:-(
